📰 2 Must-Read AI Stories

Having witnessed the devastating impacts of two world wars and the catastrophic consequences of a nuclear war, coupled with the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, you just can't help but wonder what other unimaginable horrors may lie ahead.

In an open letter, more than 300 AI leaders, including prominent figures like Sam Altman and Geoffrey Hinton, express their concern that AI poses an existential risk comparable to pandemics and nuclear war. They emphasize the urgent need for global prioritization, regulation, and mitigation to prevent the potential extinction of humanity.

The letter specifically underscores the necessity of global prioritization in addressing this risk and identifies various potential pathways through which AI could pose societal-scale risks. These include the potential misuse of AI by malicious actors to create bioweapons or unleash harmful rogue AI.

Takeaway: The urgent plea for global prioritization, regulation, and mitigation for AI cannot be disregarded, as the consequences of inaction could be unimaginable and irreversible. It is imperative that we heed these warnings and take decisive measures to navigate the uncertain path that lies before us, for the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

Experts say AI is akin to nuclear war, a pandemic.

Seems like AI will be integrated into almost everything in the future (or, should I say, at present?) including your favorite video game!

Nvidia just created a demo called Nvidia ACE (Avatar Cloud Engine) for Games that allows gamers to talk to video game characters using their own voice instead of clicking on dialogue options.

The demo was showcased at Computex 2023 in Taipei and features a cyberpunk ramen shop where players can talk to the proprietor. The demo uses middleware called Nvidia ACE, which includes the company's NeMo tools for deploying large language models (LLMs), Riva speech-to-text, and text-to-speech, among other bits.

Furthermore, Nvidia has recently reached the milestone of becoming a $1 trillion company, owing to the remarkable growth of AI.

What are your thoughts on this development? Would you prefer to play and converse with a human or an AI?

🦉 1 Insight from Ash

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it's transforming our world, reshaping industries, and creating unprecedented possibilities. On the other, luminaries like Sam Altman warn of AI's "extinction-level" capabilities, placing it on par with threats like pandemics and nuclear war.

However, we need perspective. AI is neither infallible nor inherently evil; it's a tool, prone to errors, and its impact depends on our use. Fearmongering can stifle innovation, but ignoring risks is equally perilous. The real danger lies not in an AI apocalypse, but in its potential misuse, particularly in weaponization. As AI software merges with hardware, such as the recent integration of OpenAI's ChatGPT with Boston Dynamics' Spot robot, science fiction-like scenarios come into focus, calling for specific regulatory interventions.

While it's crucial to be vigilant, we should also be wary of fear-driven policymaking that could undermine individual freedoms, as witnessed during the pandemic. Legislation should strike a balance between mitigating potential risks and preserving innovation and personal liberties.

Given these realities, here are the critical steps we must take:

Implement Global AI Regulation: Develop comprehensive, transparent regulations to manage AI misuse and mitigate misinformation spread, while ensuring such rules do not infringe upon personal freedoms.

Promote Critical Thinking: Encourage fact-checking and ongoing AI education to foster nuanced understanding and informed decision-making.

Prevent AI Weaponization: Regulate the integration of AI in weaponry, particularly in designing chemical weapons, and the fusion of AI software with robotics, to prevent catastrophic outcomes.

In Sam Altman's words, "My worst fears are that we – the field, the technology, the industry – cause significant harm to the world … It’s why we started the company [to avert that future]… I think if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong."

Remember, if AI were an existential threat, why would visionaries like Altman and those from Google, Microsoft, and others develop and disseminate such technology? It is because they understand that AI when used responsibly, can be a force for good.

Thus, as we chart AI's course, we must align it with societal values, balancing its transformative potential with prudence. The dawn of AI must bring promise, not peril.

And there you have it, folks!

++More Things You Don’t Want to Miss (BONUS)

Researchers have discovered a new type of antibiotic that works against drug-resistant bacteria using artificial intelligence, these drug-resistant bacteria are like bullies that don't listen to the usual medicine and keep making people sick.

The antibiotic was tested on mice infected with the superbug and controlled the growth of the bacteria, suggesting that the method could be used to create antibiotics tailored to fight other drug-resistant pathogens.

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming more common and could cause an estimated 10 million deaths per year by 2050 if new antibiotics are not discovered. So, this new finding of antibiotics is really important to keep people healthy and safe.
